Migration Nation

This is part of a KS3 History series published by Oxford and written by Aaron Wilkes.

I bought it for the section on the 'Windrush'.

This chapter is excellent. I also have another book in the series. They are well written and nicely designed.

As always, the historical perspective and some of the ideas and resources are well worth blending with the geographical enquiry and topics which are the reason why we use the late Benjamin Zephaniah's book as a focus with Year 7 students. 

As blogged a few days ago, there was quite a lot of sadness when students heard of the passing of Benjamin.

'Windrush Child' - a Q and A with the author

This video appeared just before Christmas, and I have used it with my Year 7 groups. The page it's hosted on includes an extract from the book and a range of other detail on this book.
